Family Ministries

OVERVIEW

Through family ministry, Emmanuel Presbyterian Church is here to love and support our families, as well as extend mercy and grace to families in our community. We desire to partner with parents by equipping and assisting them as they raise their children to know and serve God. Emmanuel strives to share the love and truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ with children of all ages in safe and nurturing environments; all caregivers and teachers are screened and background checked. Emmanuel's family ministry focuses on: Building Biblical knowledge by using the Gospel Project curriculum, coupled with Emmanuel's own version of Godly play. Encouraging healthy relationships with teachers, peers, and other families. Providing opportunities for service within our community and to our missionary partners.

VISITING EMMANUEL?

Check your child(ren) in at the registration table located on the lobby level of George Mason University's Law School. One of our family ministry GREETERS will be available to assist you in getting your child(ren) signed-in to their age appropriate classroom. Nursery aged children, after registering, may be taken directly to their class. During the school year, preschool and grade school aged children (pre-K-5th) attend the first part of service with their parents or guardians and then connect with their teachers in the lobby during the "Greeting" time of service. All children are picked-up after service in the designated children's ministry area. Note: July and August of each year we shift into our summer schedule to ensure our teachers receive a break. During these months, as well as the Labor Day weekend, all grade school aged children (completed kindergarten--5th grade) attend service with their parents; worship bags with fidget toys and other fun, but quiet activities are provided for Emmanuel's grade schoolers, as well as, an assortment of Bibles and Bible story books.

WORSHIP BAGS during the school year... Every 4th Sunday kids 2nd grade through 5th grade participate in the entire service. Make sure to stop by the registration table on 4th Sundays to grab a worship bag to be used during service. Something special for Emmanuel's 3rd-5th grade students! The Sparks Squad team led by Chris & Shelby Smith and Jack & Amie Murtha meets during the school year, typically on the 3rd Sunday of the month from 4:30-6:00pm.
